Dont get me wrong i think its vital to have the data protection act in place, but today we received a letter, not in our name but with our address on, dh opened it anyway (i normally just return to sender). It was a credit agreement in someone else name but had our bank account details on!
Phoned up the company and they said they couldn't tell us who the company was that set up the credit agreement as we weren't the name on the letter, we tried to explan that the bank account details were our's, the address was our's, we hadn't set up an agreement and we didn't want to pay for someone elses insurance, they also wouldn't tell us where they had got our bank account details from.
Im so glad he opened that letter or payments would have started going out on the 5th october!
They have put a hold on the account while they investigate.
dh is going to see our insurance broker tomorrow to see if they have cocked up somehow.
Im just so annoyed that they wouldn't tell us what company had set it up.
